Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Riparius, NY.

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Riparius who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
